Minh, Maxim and Mermelstein All Moved Off

Nível 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Minh Ly (Seen Here at the Final Table of Event #55) Knows Better Than Most That the Road to the Mothership Stage is a Long One

The action has been slow and steady throughout this Day 1b of the Main Event, but the post-dinner lull has been especially pronounced, with just two or three bustouts occurring so far in the Amazon Room's Purple section.

We passed by the tables of three pros recently, and the passive play demonstrated by each was indicative of the mood on the tournament floor here today.

First, Minh Ly checked his option from the big blind after three players limped in to begin the action. When the flop fell , Ly tapped the table along with his three opponents, and he quickly folded when one of them bet the turn.

Shortly thereafter, Aaron Mermelstein made it 750 to play from middle position, and received a lone call from a player defending his big blind. On the action flop, both players checked cautiously, and Mermelstein reluctantly mucked when his opponent led out for 1,000 on the turn.

Finally, Maxim Lykov checked a three-way pot on the turn, with the board showing . He mucked along with one other player when a woman bet 2,100 from the big blind, after the river brought the .

We hope to hear the familiar refrain of "all in... and a call!" begin to echo through the tournament floor once again, but with players who have seen their starting stacks halved to 15,000 still in possession of 50 big blinds, there is no need for a rush at this point in the evening.

Moneymaker Short

Mateusz_Pater

Nível 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

On a flop, Chris Moneymaker checked his option from the big blind, as did his opponent, before the fell on the turn. Moneymaker checked his option, before he was faced with a bet of 900. He then raised it up to 2,900 and was called, before the was produced on the river. Moneymaker checked once more, before making a quick call, when his opponent decided to bet out 3,625.

Moneymaker turned over his for a flopped straight, but was beaten in the hand, when his opponent rolled over the for a rivered full house.

Moneymaker has dropped down to 6,700, and will need to find a lot of help, if he wants to run deep in this year’s Main Event.

Matthew Honig Busts Two With His 'Boys

Nível 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

We caught a big pot brewing between three players, and watched as two all-bets of roughly 13,500 each were quickly called by Matthew "Hanks" Honig.

Showdown:

Honig:
Opponent #1:
Opponent #2:

With both of the all-in players holding big aces, Honig was in a highly advantageous position with his cowboys, and while the brought the table a decent sweat, the turn () and river () came clean to secure Honig two stacks in one fell swoop.

As we left the scene of the crime, professional player Joe Tehan jokingly asked his to improve our upcoming report by adding in the following caveat: Honig had just chipped up a few hands before by rivering Tehan out of a sizable pot.

Apparently, Honig held a dominated , as Tehan had , and the board ran out to give Honig a bit of momentum heading into his three-way dance against the two big aces.
